The star teammates and reigning Super Bowl champs were seated courtside for Sunday’s game, and when shown on the Jumbotron in Dallas, they received vastly different welcomes from the home crowd.
Kelce, who was shown on the big screen first, received a chorus of boos from those in attendance. Moments later when Mahomes filled the screen, those boos turned into cheers, as the Chiefs’ quarterback was treated to quite a warm welcome compared to Kelce.
The Mavs welcomed them on social media, too, tagging Mahomes and introducing Kelce as Taylor Swift’s boyfriend in a post on X.
Mahomes is a big Mavs fan and frequently tweets in support of the team. Meanwhile, Kelce was at the arena for the second consecutive night, having been spotted in a suite during the Dallas Stars’ 3–1 win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 of their Western Conference Final showdown on Saturday evening.
